Baseball Slang.

Base Ball Gazette.
A great deal of slang peculiar to the baseball
professional writers has crept into the modern
baseball literature. 1t should be eliminated be-
fore the old-time reader forgets what pure base
ball language used to be- We take this opportunity
to talk with our small host of representatives
and correspondents and try to induce them all to
use plain. everyday American words in their
work on the Gazette. Let your readers know
that you mean a pitcher when you want to write
about pitcher, and not call him "twirler." A
baseball team is better than an aggregation"
and it doesn't decay the teeth much in the
pronunciation. The Washington players should
never be called the Statesmen" any more than
Congressman should be dubbed Gaffney's men,
1.-The Smoky City aggregation" might do very
we'll as prize puzzle for a newspaper that
wanted plenty of copy to fill up. but prefer it
written as plain Pittsburg team. Please to say
HE played first base" when you have that idea
to express, and eschew the more complicated
way of HE held down the initial bag" 1t will
save in composition bill and add vastly to
the respect due from readers. Cali base

two letters.
In brief. let US have pure baseball English,
and not 60 wandering off into the field of profess
sional slang. Give 1t trial and you'll like the
change,

not now far behind Boston in one of the sensa-
